Since that time the subject has been a matter of discussion by the public press, by the grain men and by the people throughout the state, The justuess "of the domand, and the importance of the measure to our people, should, in_our opinion, cause more prompt action than has been taken regarding the matter, as up to this date no answer what- ovur has been received by our buard to our communication, nor has any movement been made looking toward the establishment of the rate proposed.
